Comments about this movie

When 'Buzz' Aldrin mentioned that he did once owned a 1970 Saab Sonnett, there was a blooper on the display shows the previous generation SAAB Sonnett II or V4 instead of Sonnett III when he mentioned the Saab Sonnet

There seems to be only one in the group (Tanner Foust) that actually has driving skills, being a stunt car driver and genuinely likes cars. As for the other two, I don’t know much about them. One is an actor, and one has a dimly lit background.

PROS:
*The series' trademark direction and editing are present (loved the Murcielago bull fight).
*The upcoming challenges look like they'll be pretty entertaining.
*The hosts don't try to completely ape the hosts of the British version.
*The test track appears to be an actual track, not two stacks of tires on a runway.

CONS:
*Too much videotape in show segments....it's intercut with the film and the change in frames-per-second is very noticeable. Makes it look cheap.
*The interplay between the hosts seems a bit forced, almost like they barely even know each other, but they're pretending to.
*Still no indication on whether or not they'll ever be caustic towards any of the cars they review for fear of pissing off manufacturers, a concern that Jay Leno has voiced about a potential American version of the show.

I swear you have got to be the only person in the world to think this. I hate this version, there is noting original about it. They take the same skits and tests from the UK version and perform them with US cars. The US guys are not funny at all either

I like the show very much. Sure, it's lacking compared to the British version, but as a person who buys cars on the cheap and gets dirty putting them together, I can appreciate lots of the challenges. The dialogue is pretty funny to hear, too. It's worth the time if you get the History Channel.

It's okay. It seems a bit less staged than the original but it doesn't really work as well as entertainment. It's only really of interest to car guys and the fact that the original is not like that is the main strength.

1st series episodes appearing now on BBC3 in UK. Absolutely slavish copying of UK format and very stilted dialogue, too much whooping, cheering and faked excitement in the first 2 episodes. Hope they relax/break free a bit and start being themselves.

The boys boys will be returning April 26th for another series.
And yes as have i. Cant believe its been a year since i last contributed to the site. I was in a different place in my life and just lost the motivation to watch things for cars and go through the motions of sorting and adding to the site, but now im back and hopefully slowly, normal services can resume.
